Police seek man who left cash at Hingham bakery

Hingham police are looking to identify a customer who left behind an envelope filled with cash when he visited a Hingham bakery in late February.

Hingham police said the man is seen on surveillance video entering White’s Bakery inside the Derby Street Shoppes on Friday, Feb. 21 at 3:11 p.m., news partner The Patriot Ledger reports. He picked out items to purchase, and removed a folded envelope from his pocket after approaching the counter.

During a conversation with the clerk and while pointing to his purchase he left the envelope on the display counter, police said. The man then paid cash for his purchases and walked out in the direction of the Apple Store before he disappears out of camera view.

Police said about a minute later, another clerk saw the envelope and picked it. She immediately turned it over to her manager for safekeeping. The bakery later contacted police after no one came forward to claim the money, for which the police have not received any inquires.

The customer is described as being an approximately 50-year-old white man with thick, dark hair. He was wearing dark pants, a dark jacket and tan boots or shoes. The envelope had no writing or markings on it and contained a large amount of cash.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Officer Eric Chessler at 781-749-1212.
